That’s not what Lemmy is calling for
I wasn't aware Lemmy had a political platform?
you liar
Fuck off, my little coward.
You just can’t admit that voting still works
How's that working for you?
I mean, it seems your policy goals are just "get my team of blue genocide supporters in", so maybe on that level, it works. Some of us want actual change though.
Ah, yes, the famously violent example of MLK.
You should go read a book called This Non Violent Stuff'll Get You Killed.
It's about exactly the use and pairing of non-violent and violent protest in the American Civil Rights movement. It doesn't support the reflexive "just be peaceful and vote" nonsense you're peddling, and trying to pretend is what happened in Belgrade.
that were fighting,
Sorry, what trench in Ukraine are you posting from?
but we should be fighting autocracy wherever it happens to be, and it happens to be in Russia
Are you American? Because your country is currently engaged in war crimes, and you can fight it plenty well from there.
That's exactly what the Serbian protestors were forced to do as well - and unlike Ukraine, they didn't have lots of CIA backing to help them.
"guys, we went on a permitted march in favor of slightly less shitty authoritarian neoliberals, what more do you want?"
Nobody was shot and killed for No Kings. What the people were shot and killed by ICE for was direct action of rapid response against ICE.
carpool?
Jesus, the stupid Russiaphobia and cold war hangover is what they're using to keep you idiots supporting the war machine.
The Russian people are not your enemy.
Exactly. These people have been holding the streets for literally years, being attacked by paramilitaries - so not your No Kings Parades. They didn't just vote harder for Democrats who are pretty much to the right of even Vucic.

Apologies, was meant for dreamkeeper.
Do check out that book though - the painting of MLK as willing to endorse non-violence at the cost of the movement is simply not correct. Non-violence was a strategy used in the mid-60s for a very specific reason, but liberals want to pretend it's the only way for any action to be legitimate.
